Could the selection of individually placeable plants include the paleobotany vegetation?

With the update coming in a few hours, we could plop down (or pop down) a selection of flora based on the biome of the map we are currently building our parks.

From what has been observed, at least in the Nublar map, we have 10 individual plants to use that are not relegated to planters, all of which are exclusive to the tropical environment.
I respect the direction in having the plants be limited to the environment, but I want to ask if the selection of plants could be expanded to include the paleobotany vegetation.

This is because the paleobotany vegetation consists of a selection of plants that is readily available on all maps, and would be really handy to place individual plants from the 7 categories to finetune an exhibit's balance in vegetation. That and the paleo-plants themselves are very appealing visually that I would love to be able to decorate my parks with them, as they give off an appropriately prehistoric vibe.
 
SUB-TOPIC: THE PLACEABLE VEGETATION SHOULD BE SHIFTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT TAB

So far I have been playing the updated game with update 2.0 and I had a fantastic experience so far. I will mention that I noticed that the placeable vegetation (the 10 options without planters) should be shifted over to the environment tab altogether.

This is because when managing a dinosaur's environmental need, I would often jump to the "Edit-Environment" Shortcut so as to observe the dinosaur's need being filled by my edits. The issue I find is that I have to keep closing this tab to go over to the scenery and place the individual plants, but I then lose that ability to observe the dinosaur's needs being filled to gauge if my new plant editions were enough or not.

So that level of convenience is lost, and I would like if the placeable vegetation that affects the needs of dinosaurs could be categorized in the environment tab instead of the decoration tab.
 
I actually think that this is a cool idea man having an option to choose which type of vegetation you want so this way your Brachiosaurus can still eat from the tall nut but placing it as a single tree. nice I forgot about this from my paleobotany.
 
Oh yeah! I do recall such a situation.

I was playing in the UK Map in sandbox mode and I was having the hardest time balancing out the needs of a pair of diplodocus as they wanted more tree and I believe ginkgo than what was possible within the exhibit. Since it was a UK map, I couldn’t expand it as much and wanted to make their housing work, to which I stuck with a 'comfortable' status instead of perfect.

So having paleo plants being individually placeable would help with vegetation balance for sauropods, that way they would need a lot of trees and space, but could be easily containable if the player takes time placing the vegetation individually.
